VIDEO CONSULTATIONS FAQ’S
HOW THE VIDEO CONSULTATION WORKS
To book a video consultation you follow the same steps as booking a face-to-face appointment. Simply choose the time that suits you, fill in your details and make payment. You will receive a confirmation email with your video booking link. That’s it!

Of course not. You can stay registered with your NHS GP and still use our video consultations service whenever you want.
Do I need to download an app?
Nope! The booking link works in your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox & Safari) so no need to download anything.
If you’re using an iPhone please make sure you’re running on at least iOS 11.4.
How long is the video consultation?
The appointment is 15 minutes.
HOW WE CAN HELP
What if I need to see a doctor face to face after my video appointment?
Easy! We’ll book you into the clinic that suits you, at a time that suits you. We can usually arrange for you to see the same GP too.
Will I have to pay for a follow up face to face appointment?
Yes, but we’ll throw in a discount for any face to face follow up that is a direct result of a video appointment, as recommended by your doctor.
OUR VIDEO CONSULTATION PRICES
How much does it cost?
A 15-minute video appointment costs £95. Additional costs will be charged for prescriptions, referrals, sick notes and blood tests.
What if the video doesn’t work?
We recommend you test your device is compatible before the consultation, but if you have followed our recommendations and there’s a problem during the consultation then we’ll refund you the cost.
PRESCRIPTIONS, SICK NOTES & REFERRALS
I need a prescription
No problem! There is a fee of £15 for prescriptions. We share it with you on our patient portal. We can also post out scripts for an extra £15 admin fee.
I need a referral/letter
Private referrals and letters are shared via the patient portal for you to download so you can access the next stage of treatment with little or no wait. There is a fee of £15 for referrals or letters.
I need a sick note
Been under the weather? We’re here to help. If appropriate, our GPs can write you a sick note and share it via the patient portal. There is a fee of £30 for sick notes.
Where do I get my documents?
Invoices, referral letters, sick notes, blood results or any documents your doctor wants to share with you, will be sent through an encrypted link that only you can access.
BLOOD TESTS
I also need a blood test, can you help?
You can either come to our clinic in Canary Wharf from Monday to Friday or we can arrange for you to do a walk-in blood test at our laboratory ( The Doctors Laboratory ) in central London, or alternatively arrange for a nurse to do a home visit ( this incurs an extra charge) For some blood tests we can send a finger prick sample to your address.
How much does it cost?
The doctor will talk you through the different options and costs of investigations if needed.
UNDER 18'S
My child is under 16
We see children under 16 but we are legally unable to provide medical advice to under 16s without parental supervision. The appointment must be booked using the parent or guardian’s details. The child must also be accompanied by a parent or guardian with a valid form of photo ID during the consultation.
What about over 16s?
For children over 16, the parent or guardian must book the appointment using their details and provide photographic ID to confirm they have given permission for the child to consult with the doctor. After this the child can continue the consultation without the parent or guardian present.
